00:00:00Father, what's the meaning of this? How could you do this to me?
00:00:25Well, good morning, Emmeline. I see you're in a great mood again.
00:00:28After everything I've done for you, the family, the company, this is how you reward me?
00:00:33Calm down and let me know what you're saying.
00:00:35Oh, so you're going to deny it?
00:00:37Denying what? I still have no idea what you're talking about.
00:00:39The rumors going around the company that you're stepping down in three months
00:00:42and you've already named Jonas your successor.
00:00:44So that's what this drama is about?
00:00:46Yes.
00:00:47Yeah, it's true.
00:00:48That's ridiculous. Jonas can't take care of himself, let alone a whole company.
00:00:52I mean, all he does is spend his money on partying and women and I'm the one who actually does the work.
00:00:57Yes, and that's why you're the chief operating officer. Look, I need you with your skill set
00:01:02in that role so that you can support your brother so that he too can succeed.
00:01:05Well, what if I make you an author, one you can't refuse?
00:01:10I'm listening.
00:01:18I'm listening. Have a seat.
00:01:22Father, I am certain this is an offer you're going to appreciate.
00:01:27An offer I'm going to appreciate?
00:01:28You're getting married. Great, because we both know you're not getting any younger.
00:01:32What? No, I'm talking about a business proposal, not a marriage.
00:01:37Oh, okay. Well, what's your business proposal?
00:01:41Okay, so what if I could secure a partnership with the Anderson Corporation?
00:01:45The Anderson Corporation? I've been trying to land that account for 10 years.
00:01:49It's impossible. It can't be done.
00:01:52I have my ways, Father. I just need you to trust me.
00:01:55If it was anybody else, I would say no. But you're my daughter, and I trust you.
00:02:04But just to let you know, I am going to be publicly announcing my retirement in three months.
00:02:11So you have three months to change my moment.
00:02:13Um, thank you, but I was hoping just to have a little more time.
00:02:18Three months, and not a day more.
00:02:40Fucking hell. I just don't get it. I've sent out a million proposals at this point, and I still have no response.
00:02:46Thanks.
00:02:52Mail for Mr. Balene Kestrel.
00:02:54Yes, thank you.
00:03:04Who is it?
00:03:05Um, there's something. What do you want?
00:03:08Um, I've got mail from the Anderson Corporation. I think they finally responded.
00:03:12What'd they say?
00:03:13Well, I don't know what to say on that.
00:03:15Did you just stand there? It read to me.
00:03:25Oh my god. This is for Mr. X himself. He's asked me to come meet him and his private residence to discuss the terms of the contract.
00:03:33Oh my god. It's great news. I'll cancel the rest of your appointments for the afternoon.
00:03:38No. No, I don't think that'll be necessary.
00:03:41Why not? I'm not going.
00:03:43What do you mean you're not going? This is the big break you've been waiting for.
00:03:55I know. I know, but does something about this seem off to you?
00:04:01Off? What do you mean off?
00:04:04We've sent out a million proposals, and now suddenly we get a response from Mr. X himself?
00:04:09I guess so, Ms. Castro, but what do you have to lose? Honestly, you've been waiting for this. Might as well.
00:04:17Hey you, Gardner. I'm here to meet Mr. X. Am I in the right place?
00:04:43Do I know you from somewhere?
00:04:45Yes, I imagine you do. I'm-
00:04:48Unimportant. I'm here to meet Mr. X. Is this the place?
00:04:54He's waiting for you. Just through that door and down the hall.
00:05:15I'm okay.
00:05:16Bye-bye.
00:05:17All right.
00:05:17Bye-bye.
00:05:18Bye-bye.
00:05:20Bye-bye.
00:05:39Bye-bye.
00:05:40I don't know what kind of a sick game you're playing, but you should go back outside and keep raking up leaves.
00:05:58I don't think your boss would be too happy with wearing his clothes and sitting on his expensive couch.
00:06:06You still don't remember me, do you?
00:06:08Remember you.
00:06:21No way, you're Jeff?
00:06:23In the flesh. You look like you've seen a ghost.
00:06:28You haven't answered my question. What's going on here?
00:06:31Well, you arranged a meeting with Mr. X, so here we are.
00:06:35I imagine this is all a little much for you to take in.
00:06:41This doesn't make any sense. I just saw you outside pruning plants and now you're giving me a glass of whiskey?
00:06:50Is this a prank? Are there cameras?
00:06:54Cameras? I don't much care for intrusive technology. And I don't think it's a crime for a man to tend his own garden.
00:07:02I get a lot of satisfaction from doing it myself. It's therapeutic.
00:07:06So, what you're trying to tell me is...
00:07:09I'm Mr. X. I'm the one you came here to see. Now shall we dispense with this for AIDS and get down to business or would you care to be hysterical for a few more minutes?
00:07:19Bullshit. You're lying. Just admit it and stop playing games.
00:07:24You don't have to believe me. I'm not trying to convince you. The door is still open. You're welcome to leave.
00:07:31I've got to say, this looks really good. One of the best proposals I've read in a while, in fact. I guess all the media I say about you is true.
00:07:48But the figures we're looking at here run to the billions of dollars. Are you sure you can manage such resources?
00:07:54But I have a detailed project plan and I'm...
00:08:00I've looked at your plan. And I've had my team go through it as well. The simple truth is, your company does not have the resources to manage such a large project. On paper at least.
00:08:10Your father has consecutively been turned down over 30 times in the past 10 years for this reason alone.
00:08:15What makes you think we'd accept your company's offer this time? You've been rejected so many times before.
00:08:20You had all that information and you've still invited me here. So I got back to the question. What am I going to do in the year?
00:08:29No, Emma. You're always as intelligent as you are beautiful.
00:08:34Don't patronize me.
00:08:36Alright. And I won't waste your time. I brought you here to make you an offer. One that could help you secure what you came for.
00:08:50Help me secure what I came for. You mean the contract.
00:08:55Did you come for something else?
00:08:57No. I just want to make sure we're on the same page. So what's the offer?
00:09:02Take it. Open.
00:09:07What is this supposed to be?
00:09:12You're a smart woman, Emma. I'm sure you can read what's on the paper.
00:09:16This is a marriage contract. Between you and me. Contractual terms of the marriage outlined in detail. Contract set to expire in three months.
00:09:27What makes you think I would ever, in a million years, accept something as bizarre as this?
00:09:32You think I would willingly sell myself into servitude just for a contract?
00:09:37Let's not play games, Emma. I feel they're a waste of time and I don't have much of it to spare. I'm guessing the same is true for you.
00:09:46I know the reason you're here. Or dare I say the motive behind your actions.
00:09:51What motive could that possibly be?
00:09:53Oh, I don't know. The fact that your father is publicly resigning from his position as CEO in three months.
00:09:59Or that he's naming someone who is not you as his successor.
00:10:03So, you thought that securing a massive contract like the Anderson Corporation could change his mind and finally give you the recognition you feel you deserve?
00:10:15Let me know if I missed something.
00:10:17How could you possibly know all this? It's down to such detail.
00:10:27In this line of business, information is key. And I always have my way of getting the information I want.
00:10:34But, so you've been spying on me. I should get a restraining order against you.
00:10:38I wouldn't call it spying when your family's business is always on the news. It's just simple deduction putting two and two together.
00:10:46And how exactly do you plan to get a restraining order against a man who doesn't exist?
00:10:52Who are you talking about? I know you. You're sitting right in front of me.
00:10:57What do you really know about me? Besides the fact that my name might be Jeff?
00:11:02It might be.
00:11:04The world knows me as Mr. X. You have a name and a face, but little else.
00:11:08I drove here, remember? I know where you live.
00:11:11I have a dozen homes across the state, none of which are in my name.
00:11:16But I think we're getting a little off topic here.
00:11:19You have a contract in front of you that can make all of your dreams come true.
00:11:24The question is, do you have the balls to take it?
00:11:29Of course, you could walk away, turn it down, and none of this will have happened.
00:11:36But remember, this is a one-time offer.
00:11:40So, decide.
00:11:42Can I at least take some time to go through it carefully and then make a decision?
00:11:52Smart woman.
00:11:54I'll give you three days to decide.
00:11:57After which, the contract will be withdrawn.
00:12:01And nobody is to know about our little arrangement. Is that clear?
00:12:05Yes.
00:12:13Goddammit. This asshole must have to be out of his goddamn mind.
00:12:20He wants to turn me into a slave, and for what?
00:12:23Are you hiding something from me, baby sister?
00:12:26Hiding? I don't need to hide anything from you.
00:12:29You're always too intoxicated to see clearly anyway.
00:12:32Oh, Emma. You never miss an opportunity to have a go at me, do you?
00:12:36It's bad enough I always have pops on my back.
00:12:37On your back? You're clearly his favorite. I mean, he gives you everything on a gold platter and you just take it for granted.
00:12:45You think you have everything figured out, don't you?
00:12:48When in truth, you're just a scared little girl running around seeking validation from her daddy.
00:12:53What are you doing here, Jonas? I know you didn't just come to say hi. I have a lot to get done today.
00:12:58What? I can't just come check up on my little sister? You haven't even offered me a seat yet. Now that's not very nice.
00:13:05Sorry. I just have a lot going on. Have a seat.
00:13:11This is a nice office you have here. Let's remind me to give you a raise when I finally take over.
00:13:23Now, can you please tell me why you're here?
00:13:26Get down to business, you mean?
00:13:28Well, I'd like you to tell father that you're no longer interested in the position of CEO and that you would gladly let me take the lead as your big brother.
00:13:37And why the hell would I want to do that?
00:13:48Maybe because I asked nicely? With a cute little smile on my face? I could do a sad face if you like.
00:13:55This is ridiculous. I don't have time for this. I have work to do. I don't have time for your games.
00:14:00Or maybe you don't have a shot at winning. And you might get yourself hurt.
00:14:03Is that a threat, big brother?
00:14:06A threat? I'm just trying to look out for you, kiddo. Politics can be a dirty game.
00:14:12Well, thank you so much for your concern, Jonas. I really appreciate it. But I've made up my mind. I'm not chickening out.
00:14:20You've always had a hard time listening to simple instructions, haven't you?
00:14:24See, here's what bothers me. Why do you even want it, anyway? I mean, you barely have enough time for yourself, let alone running the day-to-day operations of a huge company like this.
00:14:37And even if I'm CEO, you'll still have plenty of money to fund your extravagant lifestyle. So why do you want it?
00:14:43You know what? You're right. I don't have time to manage any of this. Which is why I want to make you second in command.
00:14:54You'll get to manage all the day-to-day operations and make the big decisions. You'll basically be the one in charge and I'll just be the pretty face of the company. How does that sound?
00:15:02You're out of your mind, Jonas.
00:15:09So, let me get this straight. You want me to do all the work around here and you just get to take the credit?
00:15:16Would that be too much to ask of my little sister?
00:15:19I don't know what delusional world you're living in, but you need to wake up. Because that's never gonna happen, Jonas.
00:15:25Let me ask you this. How do you envision this will end?
00:15:29You think I'd stand idly by? Will you take my fucking birthright?
00:15:34Well, when last I checked, we both had the same last name. I don't remember when that right was conferred to you.
00:15:40You think father will entertain this sick fantasy of yours? Just like when you were kids, he wants to just see you get tired out before he comes to console you.
00:15:49I'm just trying to save you from all that stress.
00:15:51Again, thank you for your concern, brother. It's deeply appreciated. But I'll have to pass on your offer.
00:15:59Fine. If you won't hear the voice of reason, so be it. But don't come crying to me when things get ugly.
00:16:07Dare I ask, is that a threat I detect, brother? It's not a very nice way to talk to your little sister, is it?
00:16:12You know, you're lucky I-
00:16:14Emma, you asked me to remind you of, um...
00:16:17Sorry, I didn't realize you.
00:16:19Alright, Cynthia, my brother here was just leaving.
00:16:23This isn't over, little sister. I'll be back.
00:16:27You had something for me?
00:16:42Oh, yeah, your, um, three o'clock appointment. You told me to remind you when our client is here. I tried to buzz you to put you in a dance service.
00:16:49Sorry, Cynthia. I was just a bit distracted. Um, can we reschedule that meeting for later in the week? I'm just not in the right frame of mind right now.
00:16:59I'm sorry to hear that. Is it anything to do with, you know, who?
00:17:03My brother's just being his usual self. He's usually pretty hard to understand. I guess you can't choose your family, can you?
00:17:09Tell me about it. I also have an insufferable brother who doesn't look as good in those chains.
00:17:16Alright, what was that?
00:17:17Oh, um, nothing. Um, could I get you a coffee or a cold drink?
00:17:22Oh, you're sweet. But no, it's alright, Cynthia. I think I just need to be alone with my thoughts.
00:17:29Oh, yes, alright. Um, well, I will take care of the meeting and I will get out of your hair. If you need anything, let me know. Thank you.
00:17:47Father, we need to talk.
00:17:53Clearly you've forgotten your manners and how to knock on a door.
00:17:56Forgive me, Father. I just felt the matter was too urgent. Standing around knocking on doors felt like a waste of time.
00:18:02Right. Well, what is the matter? And why do you smell like a sewer rat?
00:18:07I've just been working hard all day, Father.
00:18:11Working hard inside the bar? Look, I don't have time for this. What do you want?
00:18:14It's funny how nobody around here ever seems to have time when I'm around. It's like I'm some disease that you all want to keep at arm's length.
00:18:23Jonas, you're a grown man. Stop carrying on like a child. And tell me what it is that you want.
00:18:29I'd like to know why do you insist on giving Emma the false hope that she could actually take my birthright?
00:18:37It seems pretty cruel, even by your standards.
00:18:40I'll have you know she has every opportunity to succeed in running this company. If she lands the deal, I will honor my promise and hand over the reins.
00:18:50No. You can't do that. You can't do that! Oh, can't I? Just watch me.
00:18:59You can't do this! It's not fair! You can't do this!
00:19:11Wait. You're just trying to teach me a lesson, aren't you? To show me the error of my ways.
00:19:19Well, lesson learned. You didn't have to go this far.
00:19:24Jonas, come and sit down and we'll talk about this man to man.
00:19:29We'll talk about this man.
00:19:30We'll talk about this man.
00:19:36Castro Enterprises is a family business that has been passed down from generation to generation.
00:19:41It was my grandfather's and he passed it down to my father. My father then passed it down to me.
00:19:47But I had to earn it. He didn't just give it over. I had to work my butt off to prove myself to him and earn his respect.
00:19:52Just like your sister has done every single day. But what are you doing? All you are doing is spending our fortune every nickel, penny and dime.
00:20:01I mean, that was a $500,000 bill just on champagne alone. What are you spending that kind of money on booze for? Are you opening a winery?
00:20:11Jonas, I need you to start earning my respect and my trust, not squandering our fortune.
00:20:19Father, are you okay?
00:20:20I'm fine. Worry more about your own reputation rather than my health.
00:20:26You know what, father? You're right. I'll do just that.
00:20:32Thank you for setting me on the right path. As always, I won't disappoint you. I promise.
00:20:40Who is it?
00:20:58Ms. Castor, I have you a coffee with two sugars.
00:21:00You're the best. And I told you, you don't need to be so formal with me.
00:21:03Oh, yes. Sorry. I keep forgetting.
00:21:06Bring me that coffee.
00:21:08No worries, Emma.
00:21:11Oh, I forgot to ask you. How did things go with Mr. X? He's obviously not a serial killer.
00:21:17No, he was something worse. He's a psychopath.
00:21:20Oh, I'm sorry to hear that. So does that mean you're not going to go ahead with the project?
00:21:25Sorry, one second.
00:21:27Who could this be?
00:21:29Mr. X sends a message. Time's off.
00:21:34Who is it? Is everything okay?
00:21:39Speak of the devil.
00:21:40Oh.
00:21:41How do you ever expect me to sign this? Do you really think I'm that desperate?
00:21:50I have to be very careful. Even one excess drop could kill her.
00:21:59Man.
00:22:00There. Dumb.
00:22:01And what were you saying, my dear?
00:22:02First of all, I am not your dear. And second of all, do you really expect me to sign this?
00:22:06It's like selling myself into slavery. Are you listening to me? Is this a joke to you?
00:22:10I can hear you. And yelling is not going to help me hear you, the better.
00:22:11I can hear you. And yelling is not going to help me hear you, the better.
00:22:12I can hear you. And yelling is not going to help me hear you, the better.
00:22:13Even one excess drop could kill her. There. Dumb.
00:22:18And what were you saying, my dear?
00:22:23First of all, I am not your dear. And second of all, do you really expect me to sign this?
00:22:28It's like selling myself into slavery. Are you listening to me? Is this a joke to you?
00:22:35I can hear you. And yelling is not going to help me hear you, the better.
00:22:40Yes, that contract in front of you is the equivalent of selling yourself into slavery.
00:22:45Because I will own you for the duration.
00:22:47But, you're under no obligation to sign it. You could walk out of here right now and nobody would stop you.
00:22:54So, the fact of the matter remains. You have a decision to make.
00:23:05You have a box ticket.
00:23:14Fine. I'll do it.
00:23:17Fantastic. I knew you had it in you.
00:23:21But, can I just make one request?
00:23:24A request?
00:23:26I don't know if I'll like this, but go on.
00:23:29Well, the contract stipulates that I have to publicly agree to be marrying a common gardener, not Mr. X.
00:23:38Yes, I remember putting that in. What about it?
00:23:40Well, just if you could give me some time to convince him. He's stubborn, but I think I can bring him around eventually.
00:23:47This could be problematic.
00:23:52But I'll grant it. You have 14 days to convince your father. But no other requests will be granted.
00:24:02Now, shall we proceed?
00:24:04What do you get out of this anyway? Is it some kind of payback or revenge or just a sick thrill?
00:24:22I guess they'll never know.
00:24:26Maybe one day I'll tell you.
00:24:34It's done. Are you happy now?
00:24:54Happy? This is a mutually beneficial arrangement. So don't act like you just did me a favor.
00:25:01Here, let me give you a hand with that.
00:25:02I can do it myself. Thank you.
00:25:06You're just about done.
00:25:13There.
00:25:15I need to change my clothes. Can you at least turn around and close your eyes or something?
00:25:20I could. But I think we need to start getting comfortable with each other sooner rather than later.
00:25:25We're a happily married couple now, remember?
00:25:27It says so right on the certificate. But I guess...
00:25:30We don't have to get comfortable. Right now.
00:25:35I promise... I won't stare.
00:25:37I won't stare.
00:25:42Is this the part where you've forced me to sleep with you to consummate our fake marriage?
00:25:47I did not force you to do anything.
00:25:49But if I wished for you to fulfill your marital obligations, I would expect you to do so with a smile on your face.
00:25:54Do we have an understanding?
00:25:59Do we have an understanding?
00:26:00Do we have an understanding?
00:26:01Do we have an understanding of your face?
00:26:02Are you thinking about your tanone?
00:26:03Do we have an understanding?
00:26:04Do we have an understanding of your forehead?
00:26:05We have an understanding of your forehead.
00:26:06Someday, we are gonna be together.
00:26:21If you don't have an appointment, please sit down and I'll be with you shortly.
00:26:27I don't think I need an appointment. I pretty much own the company.
00:26:31I am so sorry, Mr. Castro. I didn't see you walk in.
00:26:36It's okay, sweetheart. Have you seen my sister around? I've been trying to get a hold of her.
00:26:41Um, no, but I can write down something for you and I can get it to her.
00:26:47No, it's fine. I prefer to have my meetings face-to-face, if you know what I mean.
00:26:52Just let me know when she comes by, okay?
00:26:55Yes, of course.
00:26:58You're Emma's personal assistant, right?
00:27:03So you know a lot about the things that go on around here, right?
00:27:07I mean, I do her schedules, I write her meetings, I get her coffee, I write her proposals while I draft them.
00:27:15And then I also, I run around all day making sure...
00:27:19I am so sorry, Mr. Castro. I kind of start blabbing and then I can't stop and then it just...
00:27:25It's okay, sweetheart. You know, I do have a thing for intelligent women.
00:27:29Why don't I take you on a date?
00:27:34I'll take that as a yes. I'll call you.
00:27:38And remember, my sister can't know about this.
00:27:42Emma, where have you been? I haven't seen you in two days. Are you okay?
00:27:57You look terrible, no offense. Yeah, sorry, I just had a lot going on, that's all.
00:28:15Yeah, yeah, of course. Do you care to tell me?
00:28:18Right, close the door. Yeah, of course.
00:28:22Alright, what I'm about to say, it has to stay between you and me, okay? It needs to be confidential.
00:28:35Yes, yes, of course, you can trust me.
00:28:37I know. Sometimes I feel like you're the only one I can trust.
00:28:41So, the last two days I was away, I got married and kind of signed my life away.
00:28:47Oh my god. How? Oh my god, I have so many questions.
00:28:51I bet. Let's hear them.
00:28:53Well, who did you get married to? Um, where did you get married? How?
00:29:00All I can say is I've married a gardener and I even have a marriage contract to prove it.
00:29:07I'm supposed to make an announcement in two weeks' time, but no one can know until I've had a chance to speak with my father first.
00:29:13Yes, of course. Do you think he's going to approve? I don't think he is.
00:29:18Tell me about it.
00:29:20So what else happened when I was away?
00:29:23Not much. Really, just your brother came in?
00:29:27Jonas was here?
00:29:28Yeah.
00:29:29He's always up to something. Did he say something to you?
00:29:32No, he didn't say anything to me.
00:29:39Well, out with it already. Did he do or say something while I was away?
00:29:43No, no. He pretty much just told me to let you know that he dropped by. That was it.
00:29:49Are you okay?
00:29:52Yeah, yeah. I'm fine. Um, did you want me to call him for you? I can let him know. Maybe leave a note and he could-
00:30:00No, it's fine. I'm seeing him tonight for a family dinner, so whatever he has to say to me, he can say it then.
00:30:08Okay.
00:30:19You look as ravishing as ever, little sister. Did you do something with your hair?
00:30:41No, it's the same as when you saw it last time. But you look a little less drunk than usual. That's an improvement.
00:30:49Darling sister, might you by any chance be implying in front of father that I'm an alcoholic?
00:30:55Now that wouldn't be very nice, would it?
00:30:57I'm certainly not implying you're a workaholic, that's for sure.
00:30:59Enough! Can't we just have one meal in peace, please?
00:31:04Sorry, father.
00:31:11Father, if I were to tell you I'm getting married,
00:31:17getting married to a man. How would you feel about that?
00:31:20Well, that would be wonderful news. The best news I've heard in a long, long time.
00:31:25So, who is this mystery man?
00:31:28Don't get too excited. It's just a hypothetical question.
00:31:40You really had me going there for a second. I almost took you seriously. What dude would want to get married to boring old you?
00:31:53What did you just say to me? Father, did you hear what he just called me?
00:31:56Sure. Go running to daddy. Maybe he'll tuck you in and rock you to sleep too.
00:32:01You're out of line, Jonas.
00:32:03Then why don't you put me in line, Emma? Or do you need daddy's help to do that too?
00:32:07No, I don't need anybody's help.
00:32:08Enough! Enough!
00:32:09Seriously, why must you always beat each other's throats? Emmeline, put the knife away.
00:32:14Jonas, you're excused from the table.
00:32:17Of course you'd take her side. I don't know why I'd bother coming to these dinners anyway.
00:32:26Sorry about that, father.
00:32:27I'm sorry. Now, you were going to tell me about your hypothetical husband.
00:32:32Oh, um, yes. Yes, father.
00:32:37What does your hypothetical husband do?
00:32:41He's, um...
00:32:43It's okay. You can tell me. Is he an entrepreneur? A business owner?
00:32:47Uh, no. Well, he's, um...
00:32:51A gardener.
00:32:54What?
00:32:55He's a gardener.
00:33:11Why are we laughing, father?
00:33:13Your joke. It was hilarious. It's the funniest thing I've heard in a long time.
00:33:17Oh! Well, you know me. I'm always trying to make you laugh.
00:33:21Yes. And I just...
00:33:24I just wish your mother would have been here to hear it as well.
00:33:26She would have just laughed her head off.
00:33:29So, what is it you really wanted to talk to me about?
00:33:33Oh, um...
00:33:35Just that I've opened talks with the Anderson Corporation and, um,
00:33:38they seem quite receptive.
00:33:40So, I think it's only a matter of weeks before the deal is sealed.
00:33:43Well, that is wonderful news. I'm very proud of you.
00:33:46You know, I actually thought this was an impossible undertaking.
00:33:48But, you're doing it with exceptional ease.
00:33:52Clearly, the apple hasn't fallen far from the tree.
00:33:55Thank you, father. I learned from the best.
00:33:58Well, I would like to know, how did you manage to pull this off?
00:34:03Well, um...
00:34:06I was able to negotiate a mutually beneficial deal,
00:34:09and showed them how to increase profits, and it was smooth sailing from there.
00:34:13Very impressive.
00:34:14You are clearly going to make an outstanding CEO.
00:34:19Thank you, father.
00:34:21Thank you, father.
00:34:42Cynthia Darling, this is Jonas. How are you?
00:34:45Yeah, I'm good.
00:34:47I was just calling to see if you were free tonight for that date we were talking about.
00:34:51I could pick you up after work?
00:34:53Perfect.
00:34:55Hey, I could really use your help in grabbing a file from my sister's office.
00:34:59Could you be a sweetheart and do that for me?
00:35:01Wow, perfect. You're the best.
00:35:04I'll see you soon.
00:35:06Alright, bye.
00:35:07Alright, bye.
00:35:22Are you alright? You seem a lot quieter than usual tonight.
00:35:26Why do you even care?
00:35:31I still don't understand the point of this marriage.
00:35:34I mean, you haven't even touched me, let alone looked at me since we've been sleeping in the same bed.
00:35:40We hardly ever talk. I mean, what is your deal?
00:35:47What is your deal?
00:35:51Touch me?
00:35:52I could have you any time, anywhere I choose.
00:36:03I've just chosen not to exercise that right.
00:36:07Why, because you feel you own me?
00:36:10Well, the contract says I do.
00:36:12So why have you chosen not to?
00:36:15Because I'm not that kind of person.
00:36:18What kind of person are you? I mean, it's like you don't even exist.
00:36:23I do exist.
00:36:26You just don't know who I am.
00:36:29The only person I've ever wanted to genuinely see the real me.
00:36:33But you were too blinded by my poverty to see anything else.
00:36:37Well, anything subjugating me will change that.
00:36:41I thought I was just doing this for revenge.
00:36:45God, you're so annoying.
00:36:48Why can't anything with you just be simple and straightforward?
00:36:51You might want to save that loud voice of yours.
00:36:53I think I finally decided to exercise my rights.
00:36:55I think I finally decided to exercise my rights.
00:36:56I think I finally decided to exercise my rights.
00:37:06Don't stay away from me. Don't touch me or I will scream.
00:37:13Scream? For who? The police? Miles away.
00:37:18And what would you tell them anyway? That your husband wanted to touch you?
00:37:21I mean it. Don't come any closer!
00:37:24Relax.
00:37:26I don't want to touch you.
00:37:29I just meant I want to hear what's bothering you.
00:37:34If you'll share it with me, of course.
00:37:36But now I'm supposed to believe you care about me after all the games you've been playing?
00:37:41I haven't given you any reason to distrust me. Why would I start now?
00:37:46God, I've been so confused in my life.
00:37:49Okay, fine.
00:37:52Look, I tried talking to my father about the idea of me marrying a gardener and he just laughed like it was a joke.
00:38:02I can't even imagine what his reaction would be if it came out in the news.
00:38:06He probably disowned me.
00:38:07Hmm.
00:38:10Well, I can't do anything about your father.
00:38:13But I can give you another two weeks to try to convince him.
00:38:17But the contract won't change.
00:38:19Thank you, but why would you do that?
00:38:21Why would you do that?
00:38:23I have my reasons.
00:38:25Maybe someday soon, everything will make sense.
00:38:28Makes sense.
00:38:40What is taking this bitch so long?
00:38:43I've got other shit to do.
00:38:44I've got there.
00:39:19Gotcha.
00:39:49Hey there, beautiful.
00:39:54Hey.
00:39:55Did you get it?
00:39:57Uh, yeah.
00:39:59Here.
00:40:07You okay?
00:40:08What's wrong?
00:40:09Um, yeah, I'm fine.
00:40:11It's just, you're gonna help him, right?
00:40:15Yeah, of course.
00:40:17You know how my sister is.
00:40:18Strong-headed, just like my father.
00:40:20She never would have agreed to faster up front.
00:40:24Okay.
00:40:27You know, there's a lot of space in the back.
00:40:33Here?
00:40:34In public?
00:40:36My sister will never know.
00:40:48Yes, yes, Mr. Rodrigo.
00:40:50Everything's in place to violent the procurement.
00:40:52Thank you so much for your continual support.
00:40:54I...
00:40:54I am...
00:40:57I'm gonna have to call you back.
00:40:58The business world is stunned by the rumors that the Chief Operating Officer of Casserole Enterprises,
00:41:08one of the largest pharmaceutical conglomerates,
00:41:11is tying the knot with an ordinary working-class man.
00:41:15This came shortly after it was announced that she was on the verge of sealing the company's largest contract in her company's history.
00:41:22Many questioned her judgment and the impact this union would have on her family name.
00:41:28And in other news...
00:41:30I trusted you.
00:41:32This is how you repay me?
00:41:33It wasn't me.
00:41:34I swear, you gotta believe me.
00:41:35Don't lie to me.
00:41:36You're the only one I told.
00:41:37How did the media get wind of it?
00:41:38Emma, I would never betray you.
00:41:40You gotta believe me.
00:41:42Well, if you didn't leak the information, then who did?
00:41:45I...
00:41:45I don't know.
00:41:46I wish I knew.
00:41:47I knew.
00:41:52You bastard, how could you?
00:42:00How could you do this to me?
00:42:03Emma, you're home early?
00:42:04Is everything all right?
00:42:06No, everything is not all right.
00:42:08How could you do this to me?
00:42:09After you gave me your word, you betrayed me.
00:42:13I'm sure I have no idea what you're talking about.
00:42:16But I'll be with you in just a sec.
00:42:17I'll have to finish up here.
00:42:19No one cares about your stupid plans, Jeff.
00:42:24Just tell me why you did it.
00:42:25Tell me!
00:42:27You should not have done that.
00:42:30You really should not have done that.
00:42:34Oh, what are you gonna do?
00:42:36Leak more stuff to the press?
00:42:38Obviously, you already have a pretty good head start on that.
00:42:41What are you talking about?
00:42:43None of this makes sense.
00:42:44Leak what to the press?
00:42:46Oh, you don't know.
00:42:47Let me refresh your memory.
00:42:48This is unexpected.
00:42:54But I assure you, I have nothing to do with this.
00:42:55You fucking liar!
00:42:56It has your fingerprints all over it.
00:42:58What would I have to gain from betraying your trust?
00:43:01What would you have to gain?
00:43:03I don't know, Jeff.
00:43:04I don't know why you do anything you do.
00:43:06You have completely ruined my life.
00:43:10Emma, I...
00:43:10I...
00:43:11Hello?
00:43:19Father?
00:43:19I...
00:43:20I...
00:43:20I...
00:43:20What am I going to do? What the fuck am I going to do? This is a complete disaster.
00:43:40How about you just calm down, take a few deep breaths. It might not be as bad as you're making it out to be.
00:43:45Might not be as bad? Are you fucking kidding me? What am I going to say to my father?
00:43:50Yeah, this looks grim, but I had nothing to do with this. How about instead of throwing accusations around, I just call the station and ask them who gave them the information.
00:44:03Even if you could do that, they would never tell you.
00:44:06Give me a sec.
00:44:08Who the hell are you texting?
00:44:10My accountants. So they can buy the new station and get me the information.
00:44:14You're bluffing. And even if you could do that, that would take forever to arrange.
00:44:18You'd be surprised how quickly you can get things done when you're Mr. X.
00:44:22This is a waste of my time. I just have to face my father and talk to him once and for all.
00:44:28Thanks for meeting.
00:44:30Done.
00:44:31Well, if it isn't the latest bride to be, I gotta be honest, I didn't see it coming. But the media seems to love it.
00:44:51You snake. How did you know?
00:44:53To be fair, I was surprised as well. I thought you would have had better taste. But I guess you gotta lower your standards when you've been single for so long.
00:45:01Well, thanks for your concern about my love life. Why don't you mind your own business and bud me out?
00:45:07Well, little sister, it became my business when you decided to embarrass the family name and drag us all through the mud.
00:45:13That's rich. Coming from the guy who's depraved lifestyle gets him in the media every weekend.
00:45:19What can I say? I'm the life of the party.
00:45:23You sound confident, like you think you have to be beat. But I'm the one who's about to cross the biggest deal in the company's history.
00:45:30You know our father better than anyone. He would never condone any of this. Plus, you're not the only one that can cut big deals for the company.
00:45:38Oh, you think you can cut a deal? You don't even know you're aware of any of this.
00:45:42You'll soon find out I'm a man of many talents. Why don't you go see father? He's been waiting for you.
00:45:52Good luck. You'll need it.
00:46:00Father?
00:46:01Tell me it isn't true. Tell me this is just another media stunt designed to ruin this family's reputation.
00:46:07Father, I'm sorry. What the media is saying is true. I never meant for you to find out like this.
00:46:11M, of all the men in the world, you choose a mere commoner, a gardener? Have you no self-respect? Have you no respect for this family?
00:46:19I know it doesn't make sense, but please, I need you to trust me.
00:46:22Trust you? You're actively bringing shame to this family. You expect me to trust you?
00:46:27Mother, please.
00:46:28Who is this man? What is he doing to manipulate you like this? Are you being blackmailed? Are you pregnant?
00:46:34Once I seal the deal with the Anderson Corporation, I promise you it'll all make sense.
00:46:40I'm afraid that will no longer be necessary.
00:46:42What? What do you mean?
00:46:44While you were busy gardening, your brother came to me with a proposal that I could not refuse.
00:46:50A proposal?
00:46:52Open it.
00:46:54Oh!
00:46:58This is my client!
00:47:03Not anymore.
00:47:04Not anymore.
00:47:15But, Father, that's not fair. This is my client.
00:47:19Not anymore. It doesn't matter how Jonas got the account. It is his now.
00:47:22Emeline, you no longer need to worry about the Antonin Corporation account.
00:47:26No, please. Don't stop me now when I'm so close to the end.
00:47:30My decision is made. Jonas will now be the successor of Castro Enterprises.
00:47:34Oh, Father, please. Please, I'm begging you. Don't do this to me. Please.
00:47:38All right. I will give you one more chance. On one condition.
00:47:43Of course. Of course. Anything.
00:47:45I want to meet this gardener of yours. I want to know who it is that has stolen my daughter's heart.
00:47:50You can't do this, Father. You simply just can't.
00:47:54She would disgrace the family name and you would condone it?
00:47:57Jonas, how dare you speak to me like that? Have you lost your mind?
00:48:00No, Father. I've lost my patience.
00:48:03I am your son. I am your heir.
00:48:07It is my birthright to be your successor.
00:48:10Jonas, how dare you speak to me like this?
00:48:12I will decide who will and who will not run this club.
00:48:17Father? Father, are you okay?
00:48:21Father, no. Father!
00:48:27Oh, Em, with that sad look off your face, it's going to take a lot more than this to bring me down.
00:48:33Father, that's not funny. You shouldn't be speaking. You should be resting.
00:48:37What, you're going to start treating me like a vegetable now?
00:48:40The doctor said all I need to do is take those tablets and I'll be as right as rain.
00:48:44Oh, darling. You're looking more and more like your mother.
00:48:49She would have been so proud of you and the woman you've become, just as I am.
00:48:57Where's your brother?
00:48:58Right here, old man.
00:48:59Glad to see you're still kicking. For a moment there, I thought I'd...
00:49:07Don't you fucking dare. You did this to him.
00:49:10So it's my fault he's lying in bed like this. I'm the one that put him in this state...
00:49:14Please, stop this bickering. I really can't cope with it anymore.
00:49:17Sorry. Sorry, Father.
00:49:21Look, since I am temporarily unable to fulfill my role as the head of Castro Enterprises,
00:49:27I will need to appoint a temporary CEO.
00:49:32And Jonas, despite everything you have done, you have proven yourself a worthy candidate,
00:49:38so I will appoint you as CEO temporarily.
00:49:42What? No!
00:49:44Em, this is not a permanent position.
00:49:46I will not make my final decision until I've met your man and seen the contract.
00:50:16Jonas, what are you doing here?
00:50:22Hello, Father. Are you feeling well-rested? Do you feel any better?
00:50:27No, not really. About the same.
00:50:29But, uh, why the sudden interest in my well-being, it's a little out of character for you.
00:50:38That's hurtful, Father.
00:50:39Your health is of top priority to me.
00:50:43I noticed your pills were running low, so I decided to refill them for you.
00:50:48Would you like to have a look?
00:50:49No, just... just give them to me, please.
00:51:02Well, I should be getting out of your hair.
00:51:05Get well soon, pops.
00:51:06Well, hey! Watch where you're going.
00:51:20I'm sorry, sister. I didn't see you there. I must have been absent-minded.
00:51:24You're being too nice. What are you up to?
00:51:27What do you mean, what am I up to?
00:51:29I just apologized for almost pushing you over.
00:51:31What are you doing at Waffenstrom?
00:51:33Now I can't check up on my old father?
00:51:36What do you people take me for around here?
00:51:52Jonas.
00:51:54What are you doing here, and why are you in my seat?
00:51:58Didn't you hear?
00:51:59I'm in charge now, so technically, this is my seat.
00:52:03Do you actually need something, or did you just come here to gloat?
00:52:07Emma, Emma.
00:52:09You always like to get straight down to business, don't you?
00:52:11Well, let's get to it.
00:52:13You are obligated to report all findings and dealings to the company head.
00:52:18Yet, after looking through all your files,
00:52:20I can't seem to find anything on the Anderson Corporation.
00:52:25Why is that?
00:52:26Why do you want the details of the deal?
00:52:28So you can steal my client again, like you did last time?
00:52:31Come on, Emma.
00:52:32Don't be petty.
00:52:34I finalized a contract that was sitting on your desk for weeks.
00:52:37It's all in the company's best interest.
00:52:40Company's best interest?
00:52:41Or your best interest, Jonas?
00:52:43Well, I am currently the chief executive officer,
00:52:47so my interest is the company's best interest.
00:52:50Of course, you never did tell me how you got the details of the contract in the first place.
00:52:57I never pegged you as someone who was scurrying around like a rat.
00:53:01I don't scurry you.
00:53:02I have people for them.
00:53:04It's the mark of a true leader.
00:53:06You know, you could really learn a thing or two from me, Emma.
00:53:08I knew it.
00:53:09I knew you had someone on the inside.
00:53:12Wait.
00:53:12That means that someone's...
00:53:15That fucking bitch!
00:53:30Emma, good...
00:53:31It's Miss Castro to you.
00:53:33Going somewhere?
00:53:34Um, yes.
00:53:35I have something to tell you that...
00:53:37Meaning to tell me what?
00:53:38Exactly.
00:53:39That you're a liar?
00:53:40A backstabber?
00:53:41That you've been conniving with my brother behind my back?
00:53:43What exactly were you meaning to tell me?
00:53:46Emma, I know it looks bad, but I never lied about any...
00:53:49Don't lie to me.
00:53:52Have some dignity.
00:53:54I trusted you and you betrayed me.
00:53:57I hardly think this is appropriate workplace behavior, little sister.
00:54:00I could have you sanctioned for assaulting my personal assistant.
00:54:05Your personal assistant.
00:54:06So that's what this is.
00:54:08You sold me out.
00:54:10Cynthia, darling, wait for me in my office.
00:54:13I'll be with you shortly.
00:54:15Emma, it wasn't meant to be like this.
00:54:19I'm sorry.
00:54:29As CEO, I'm responsible for the well-being of all my employees.
00:54:34I'm sure you understand.
00:54:35In a row, CEO.
00:54:36Let's see how long you can hold on to that position once father recovers, sweet brother.
00:54:46Oh, Emma.
00:54:47I plan to hold on to this position for a very, very long time.
00:54:51Hey, um, I really wanted to apologize for the way I treated you and that I doubted you.
00:55:09And I shouldn't have broken your plan.
00:55:11That was a stupid thing to do.
00:55:12I never thought I'd see the day that Emily and Castro would apologize.
00:55:18Well, don't get used to it.
00:55:20It's not going to happen again.
00:55:21Actually, scratch that.
00:55:26I think, I think it will happen more often.
00:55:30Okay?
00:55:31I know I haven't been the best fake wife to you, but you've been good to me.
00:55:36And you've been kind and patient.
00:55:38And you didn't try and force yourself on me when you could have.
00:55:41Emma, you don't have to.
00:55:43No, please.
00:55:44Just let me finish, okay?
00:55:45It's, this is really hard for me to say.
00:55:48But I also want to apologize for how I've treated you in the past.
00:55:52I've been self-centered and egocentric and I'm sorry.
00:55:58It's okay, Emma.
00:56:00And just so you know, this isn't about revenge.
00:56:04What is it about?
00:56:05I mean, what do you stand to gain from this contract?
00:56:08I can't tell you.
00:56:09Not yet.
00:56:10I figured.
00:56:12Well, can you at least show me what you're painting?
00:56:15I mean, I knew you were an artist.
00:56:18There's a lot you don't know about me.
00:56:20I bet.
00:56:21So, can I see it?
00:56:23You want to come see?
00:56:30But, but why?
00:56:35It's beautiful, but why would you paint a picture of me?
00:56:45I don't recall it being a crime to paint a picture of a beautiful and fascinating woman.
00:56:53Well, maybe I can see it when it's finished.
00:56:56Maybe.
00:56:58We'll see.
00:57:02Emma.
00:57:02I know you just, you didn't come all this way to apologize.
00:57:10But I know that look on your face.
00:57:13What's going on?
00:57:14So now you can read my emotions and know when something's wrong?
00:57:18I think I've always been able to do that with you.
00:57:22You pat your lips every time you're worried.
00:57:25I also know that your father's fallen ill.
00:57:30And that your brother's taking control of the company.
00:57:32How do you know that?
00:57:33That hasn't even gone public yet.
00:57:35I have my ways.
00:57:37And I always keep a close eye on my assets.
00:57:40The question is, what are you going to do?
00:57:43At this stage, I don't know.
00:57:49My father said the only way he'd even entertain the idea of me getting married to a gardener is if he met the man first.
00:57:56But I know the contract I signed says that I can't do that, so I guess you could say I'm out of options.
00:58:01That is a precarious situation.
00:58:12And it would void the contract.
00:58:17But I'll do it.
00:58:20What?
00:58:21What did you just say?
00:58:23I said I'll do it.
00:58:24I'll go with you to see your father.
00:58:27Why would you do that?
00:58:28That doesn't make any sense.
00:58:29All I can say is that in this respect, our goals are aligned.
00:58:35Goals aligned?
00:58:36What goals are you talking about, Jeff?
00:58:38I...
00:58:38What goals?
00:58:40Don't worry about that now.
00:58:41Everything will make sense soon.
00:58:49We can go right now if you'd like.
00:58:51I'll grab my coat.
00:58:59Cynthia, darling.
00:59:00Why the long face?
00:59:02We should be celebrating my victory, not sulking.
00:59:05She's never helped you.
00:59:06Your sister hates me because she thinks I betrayed her.
00:59:09And rightfully so.
00:59:11I didn't realize you were going to use that information against her, and if I did, I wouldn't have helped you.
00:59:15All you care about is yourself.
00:59:17I think you've been well compensated for your efforts.
00:59:21A salary bump, a triple promotion.
00:59:23I'd expect you to be more grateful.
00:59:25I'm sorry.
00:59:26I'm grateful.
00:59:27But what's going to happen when your dad wakes up?
00:59:30Is it going to be the same?
00:59:32Who says my father's going to recover?
00:59:34What do you mean by that?
00:59:44Everyone keeps going on and on about how my father's going to recover and all the things that will happen.
00:59:49But my father has a very serious illness, and he might not recover.
00:59:53And that's just a fact.
00:59:55How could you say that about your own father?
00:59:57I don't think I've said anything out of place.
01:00:00My father is very sick, and he might be in bed for a very long time.
01:00:04And I'm sure that would definitely suit your agenda, wouldn't it?
01:00:07Are you accusing me of something?
01:00:09No, Jonah.
01:00:10I'm not accusing you of anything.
01:00:11I just think I chose the wrong side.
01:00:14And what side is that?
01:00:15Look, you're not the man that I thought you were.
01:00:18I heard stories, but I didn't think they were true, but clearly they are.
01:00:25And what stories are those?
01:00:27Tell me the tales of Jonas.
01:00:29Jonas Castro.
01:00:30Jonas Castro?
01:00:31Well, Jonas Castro loves himself.
01:00:34He's an alcoholic.
01:00:35He's a womanizer.
01:00:36He's just pure evil.
01:00:39That's who Jonas Castro is.
01:00:44Look.
01:00:45I can't do this.
01:00:47I'm leaving.
01:00:50Where the fuck do you think you're going?
01:00:54It seems you've forgotten your place.
01:00:56Maybe it's the time I reminded you.
01:00:58Please.
01:01:02Let go.
01:01:03Jonas.
01:01:04You really think you can say whatever the fuck you want and get away with it?
01:01:08Look, I think you're drunk.
01:01:09And I think you just need to get off me, please.
01:01:13Let me remind you.
01:01:14You were just a pawn in all of this.
01:01:16Before I came into your life, you were nothing.
01:01:18Please.
01:01:19Please.
01:01:20I'm sorry.
01:01:20Just, oh, forget about it and we can go.
01:01:23No, no.
01:01:24I think I need to teach you a lesson.
01:01:26When you're never against me.
01:01:34You seem pretty confident.
01:01:36I guess you've done a lot of stuff like this before.
01:01:37Not really.
01:01:40Any advice on approaching your father?
01:01:42Oh, he already doesn't like you.
01:01:44So I guess just be yourself.
01:01:47Let's get this over with him.
01:01:50Father?
01:01:52I'm here.
01:01:54You're not alone.
01:01:55I'm with my fiancée.
01:01:58It's you.
01:02:01Wait.
01:02:02You two know each other?
01:02:04Your father and I have met.
01:02:06It was a long time ago.
01:02:08I'm surprised he remembers.
01:02:09I never forget a face.
01:02:11Especially one as unique as yours.
01:02:15Wait, hang on.
01:02:16This doesn't make any sense.
01:02:18Someone needs to give me some answers.
01:02:20This man came to me a few years ago.
01:02:24Asking for a private meeting.
01:02:26To discuss a very important proposal.
01:02:31Answer.
01:02:48Answer.
01:02:48You're the man I spoke with on the phone?
01:03:03Yes, sir.
01:03:06It's not every day I have a meeting with a total stranger,
01:03:09but you said you had an interesting business proposal, so what is it?
01:03:12Of course, sir. I understand perfectly.
01:03:15But I said I had an interesting proposal for you.
01:03:18It may not be exactly considered a business proposal.
01:03:22Young man, I don't have time for your silly little word games,
01:03:25so you have five minutes to tell me what the proposal is,
01:03:27or I will have you thrown out.
01:03:29Right down to business.
01:03:33I would like to ask for your daughter Emma's hand in marriage.
01:03:37I'm sorry. I think my hearing must be playing tricks on me.
01:03:49Could you repeat that for me, please?
01:03:51I said I would like your daughter's hand in marriage.
01:03:56Hmm. So it seems like my hearing is fine.
01:03:59No, sir. I believe your hearing is still top-notch.
01:04:01So, what makes you think I would go for such a ludicrous idea?
01:04:05Well, I didn't think you'd have a problem with it,
01:04:06since I am the heir to my family's billion-dollar fortune.
01:04:10Is that supposed to impress me?
01:04:12Anyone can claim to be anything these days.
01:04:14That's my family's name, our net worth.
01:04:23We operate several business enterprises,
01:04:25as well as doing philanthropic work.
01:04:27So?
01:04:27A union between your daughter and I would strengthen both our families,
01:04:31galvanizing our position in high society,
01:04:33making us a formidable force.
01:04:35I didn't think you'd have a problem with it.
01:04:38Well, I see you've done your research.
01:04:40But even if I were to give this union my blessing,
01:04:43I could never convince my Emmeline
01:04:45to marry someone that she didn't choose herself.
01:04:47Well, I believe that's where I come in.
01:04:50How so?
01:04:57So, how exactly do you plan on wooing my daughter?
01:05:02Well, in all honesty, sir, it's not a very good plan,
01:05:06but it's one that sets my heart at ease.
01:05:08What exactly are you talking about?
01:05:10I've not had much luck with women in this regard.
01:05:13They always seem to be after me for access to my money.
01:05:17I'm so sick of it.
01:05:19So I intend to disguise myself as a nobody.
01:05:23Are you suggesting that my daughter is after you for your money,
01:05:26like some pathetic little gold digger?
01:05:28No, no, sir.
01:05:30I just want Emma to get to know me for me, that's all.
01:05:34This is a ridiculous plan.
01:05:35It'll never work.
01:05:36I know.
01:05:37But I'm still willing to try.
01:05:40And if it goes south, no harm done.
01:05:42So what exactly do you want from me?
01:05:44Well, I was hoping you could put in a good word for me.
01:05:46But Emma can't know that you know who I am.
01:05:49Maybe you could say that I'm the son of an old friend.
01:05:52This is a ridiculous plan.
01:05:53I think you just need to leave.
01:05:54It's no secret that you yearn for your daughter to get married to someone worthy from high society.
01:06:01Please just consider the plan.
01:06:02How dare you presume to know me and what it is that I want.
01:06:07Get out!
01:06:07Thank you for your time.
01:06:14If you reconsider, please give me a call.
01:06:20How arrogant.
01:06:22Reminds me of my younger self.
01:06:24Wait, so hang on.
01:06:33What you're trying to tell me is...
01:06:35I've never been poor a day in my life.
01:06:38I just wanted you to see the real me.
01:06:40That's what I was trying to tell you that day in the restaurant.
01:06:43But you wouldn't hear me out.
01:06:44So you just created a fake marriage, a contract marriage, and why not move on to someone else?
01:06:51Contracts marriage.
01:06:53But what if I hadn't signed it?
01:06:54What was going to be your next scheme?
01:06:56I told you.
01:06:58You're the only person that I ever wanted to see me for who I was.
01:07:03And it wasn't a sham contract.
01:07:05I would have kept my end of the bargain at the end of the three months.
01:07:10What if I hadn't signed it?
01:07:12What would your next scheme mean?
01:07:14There was no next scheme because I knew you would sign it.
01:07:17How did you know that?
01:07:19Because I know you.
01:07:21Emma, you're willing to do whatever it takes to get what you want.
01:07:26Just like I am.
01:07:27You seem to know a lot about me.
01:07:31I really don't know what's going on here.
01:07:33But Em, if you're willing to accept his marriage proposal,
01:07:38you can have a company.
01:07:42No, Father.
01:07:44There's no marriage proposal.
01:07:46There's a web of lies and deceit in this sick man's games.
01:07:51There is now.
01:07:53Emma, you're the only one I've ever wanted.
01:07:57The only one I love.
01:07:58I'm sorry I had to pretend to be someone I wasn't.
01:08:04But if you're willing to make an honest man out of me,
01:08:08I promise, no more games or half-truths.
01:08:11Emma, will you marry me?
01:08:14Will you marry me?
01:08:23Jeff, you're a very curious human being.
01:08:30But you have been very kind and caring to me over the last few months.
01:08:34And even though I've been a total bitch,
01:08:37I hate to admit it, but I have wrong fond of you.
01:08:41So is that a yes?
01:08:42Well, we've already been married for two months.
01:08:45Might as well give it a real shot.
01:08:49Yes.
01:08:49Oh, looks like I missed the family reunion.
01:08:59Guess my invitation got lost in the mail.
01:09:02No, Jonas, you're just in the nick of time.
01:09:04Your sister is getting married.
01:09:07Oh, that's wonderful news.
01:09:08I'm not finished.
01:09:10It is also my final decision
01:09:12that she takes over as CEO of Castro Enterprises
01:09:15and that you step down effective immediately.
01:09:18Like hell I will.
01:09:20I'm your son!
01:09:21No son of mine would swap out my medication
01:09:23for a placebo so that I would die faster.
01:09:27Yeah, I knew about that.
01:09:29I might be sick, but I am not a senile.
01:09:32I didn't want it to come to this.
01:09:34It looks like I'm having more of a chips.
01:09:36What the hell are you doing?
01:09:39That's our father.
01:09:40What are you doing?
01:09:42I'm doing what I should have done
01:09:43a long time ago, little sister.
01:09:45Please, that's our father.
01:09:46Just think about what you're doing.
01:09:48Put it down.
01:09:58Step out of the way, Emma.
01:10:00I'm not going to tell you again.
01:10:02No, please, think about what you're doing.
01:10:04This is our father.
01:10:05Put it down.
01:10:05What the fuck do you think you're doing, Emma?
01:10:07Get out of the way.
01:10:08No.
01:10:09It's okay, Emma.
01:10:10I'll handle this.
01:10:11Please let me talk to him.
01:10:13Talk to who?
01:10:14This piece of shit?
01:10:15This disgraceful excuse for a man
01:10:17that I'm ashamed to call my son?
01:10:19Your mother was right about you.
01:10:22If you refuse to get out of the way, Emma,
01:10:23then you can go to the grave with him.
01:10:26No, no, no.
01:10:28No!
01:10:30Mother!
01:10:31Mother, no!
01:10:33No, Mother!
01:10:34Mother, no!
01:10:35Mother, please, no!
01:10:41Please, call an ambulance.
01:10:43No, call an ambulance.
01:10:44It's too late, Em.
01:10:45It's too late.
01:10:46Mother, please.
01:10:48Don't worry.
01:10:49It's fine.
01:10:51Know that I'm so proud of you.
01:10:55And your mother would have been
01:10:57so proud of you, too.
01:11:00I'll send her your love.
01:11:02Mother, no, no, no, no.
01:11:05You
